fuckin wit the offseason in 09

The Broncos should trade Cutler for a defensive player, sign Kurt Warner, and try to draft Sanchez.

CALL ALL DESTROYER WE ARE NOT MORIBUND!

EVERY YEAR IS A NEW YEAR IN THE THUNDERZONE!

GO VIKES!

from pete king's tuesday column:

A guy I think would be very good at the other side of it because he's smart and tireless is Adam Schefter of NFL Network. If he wanted to, he'd be a great GM someday.

if elected he will not serve

Denver TV analyst Scott Hastings joined Dan Patrick to discuss the Nuggets playoff run, the Broncos and other Denver news.

-Jay Cutler lost Hastings' respect when he claimed his arm is stronger than John Elway's. This was just a stupid thing to say because Elway is a legend in Denver so saying something like that just angers the fanbase. He calls Cutler an "arrogant little punk" and should wake up to the reality that he's the QB of an NFL football team and should act like a leader. He also referred to Cutler as a "little bitch."

-When Josh McDaniel was introduced as head coach, Cutler didn't even appear at the press conference. Hastings thinks that as the team leader, Cutler should've done everything in his power to appear there to support the new coach. He is, after all, the team leader.

-Dan asks Hastings if he'd rather have Brandon Marshall or Cutler. Hastings says he'd rather have Marshall, calling him a great guy.

bitch leader more like

yeah but scott hastings.

denver sportsblabbers say broncs just issued release--we aint tradin cutler no way, no how, he'll meet w/ jmac next week.

honestly i don't think there's a trade package in the world that SHOULD be good enough to get cutler, even taking into account his douchiness - he's a future superstar, the kind of talent you should basically assume cannot be replaced

...donovan...?

the flying dawkins will straighten cutler out

one sportsblabber makes a good point--even if a team offered you draft picks out the ass, so many that you would be guaranteed to get 3 or 4 starters--esp if you get a #1 pick--you cant afford to sign them, bonuses are too big.

donovan one up... maaaaaaybe, but age and injury. nah.

so who would you have to pack in with mcnabb to make it a fair trade?

hold on forks are you saying that the broncos should trade cutler for mcnabb?

that would be fair if the eagles traded mcnabb along with 65 million dollars

i m just musing

jets sign jim leonard, bengals re-sign cedric benson

i can't even wrap my head around that mcnabb cutler thing

is jim leonard the safety from the ravens? that dude is pretty good

yup... probably the best place for him to go, since he knows the system

if the jets keep recreating the ravens D how am i supposed to hate them appropriately?

no NFL news to post, but guys. it's a whole gallery of hatcat

jesus that cat is fucking FURIOUS

ALL THE TIME

Thing is, I don't recall any of this Cutler is a punk stuff happening DURING past couple seasons. Criminy they freaking kicked Plummer pretty hard into retirement to make the guy the starter. Of course he is an egotistical prick, criminy the dude is a starting NFL QB! Criminy you got average corners or wideouts who think they freaking invented the game or something and they don't even get the rock half the time like a QB.

You don't think The Favre would think he could throw a football harder than Bart Starr? Fuc yeah he thinks he does. Peyton Manning won't admit on camera, but you know the dude thinks he is like Captain Fucking Kirk when compared to Johnny Unitas.

All these douchebags tag on a QB that shows up for work with a quiet attitude and just does his job, but when a mouthy guy thinks he is pretty good and doesn't french kiss the coach in the middle of May (when the dude is on vacation), he is automatically not a team leader. Fuck that noise! You didn't see Peyton Manning kissing Jim Caldwell's ass on TV the day he got the job? Where was Big Ben when Mike Tomlin got the job? I'd bet he was playing golf.

I REALLY now think the Broncos are insane. The ONLY way this makes sense is that they think the dudes diabetes is going to have long term problems with him not filling out his contract. Maybe Cutler is not the second coming, but I think he is closer than many out there.

Cassell got sacked a BUNCH and was playing with an offense coming off the the best year ever. Cassell might do OK in KC, but not having that good NE line, Moss and Welker is going to be big.

but why would bowlen ok that deal? either something is v wrong with cutler, or bowlen is off his rocker. neither of which were apparent up til now.

Maybe there is something between Cutler and Bowlen that hasn't aired or maybe Bowlen is just backing the dude he just hired. Bowlen has had 3 coaches since the early 80s, so maybe this is a different kind of situation to him.

i don't understand how this is a real cat, but also can't figure out how it's not a real cat

i'm not a fan of cassel at all - he had some nice games towards the end of the year, yeah, but billy volek looked good once upon a time too. NE had to change their offense to compensate for his many limitations, and if he looked good it was because the coaching staff was so intimately familiar with his weaknesses (he can't throw downfield except off play-action and he's awful playing under center) and strengths (he's alright in the shotgun) that they could protect him from situations where he would flounder. i see his ceiling as a league-average QB, which has some value, but cutler's already surpassed that ceiling.

xpost i was as skeptical of cassel as anyone but you're underselling him. maybe the pats simplified the offense from the most complicated one in the NFL, but by the end of the season cassel showed pretty definitively that he could make good decisions, throw very accurate short and midrange passes, and make plays with his legs. i'm not crazy about his pocket awareness and he can't throw the deep ball, but given how little he's actually played he might not be done improving. i would take him over many guys in the league right now.

You know, I'm still not convinced that Billy Volek might not be better option than some of the dudes getting playing time on other clubs. The Titans never really gave him much of a shot, as they skipped over him and went straight to Vince Young. Volek didn't play game breaker for Tennessee, but that was a club whose key skills players had bailed or failed by the time he got in a few games. The guy did walk in off the bench in the 4th quarter for SD and helped win a playoff game, which is something I doubt any other backup in the NFL can really state.

For the faults I have thrown, I do think Cassell should do OK for KC and he is a big pickup for the club. Put it this way, I think by comparison he is more Trent Green than Kurt Warner (and I am a Trent Green fan from IU). I'd guess I'd ultimately have more doubts on the guy that is coaching KC's record than Cassell. I'm just not sure that Cassell is going to be able to top what he has already done while I think Cutler could improve. Cutler has a crazy arm. If Cutler gets paired up with a Plaxico or Moss kind of receiver where he can just launch them up and he will throw 40 TDs.

If I was Detroit, I might give up the #1 pick in the draft to Denver for Cutler and the Broncos #2.

I'd freaking kill for the Bears to get Cutler but the McCaskey family is a bunch of skinflints who couldn't pull the trigger for Dan Marino when they had the chance in the 80s (there were rumors of that trade around 1988).

"but by the end of the season cassel showed pretty definitively that he could make good decisions, throw very accurate short and midrange passes, and make plays with his legs."

ya, because by that point in the season NE's coaches realized that he couldn't take snaps under center, and played him almost exclusively in shotgun afterwards - in their last 6-7 games, something like 88% of his pass attempts were out of the shotgun. i also don't think he has much ability or willingness when it comes to making stick throws in the intermediate passing game. he's an effective runner but i hate how jittery he gets when he has anything less than a perfect pocket.

i think he'll do ok in KC too, mainly because the coaching staff knows him and he has some good receiver talent, but i don't think he's a star in the making or nothin

dunno, i see cassel and i think brian griese maybe with more mobility.

If Cutler gets paired up with a Plaxico or Moss kind of receiver

sorry but rly marshall is that good. right now he has two flaws--he tries to do too much after the catch (and he WANTS to hit ppl) and he cant stop fighting women. guy is straight reality tv in matters of love. so hes gone for half a season anyway.

i think marshall is well better than plax, with the exception of flopping and gun antix.

Last week, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Patriots owner Robert Kraft reportedly met with Comcast in Philly, possibly as part of an effort to get NFLN from a pay-only tier to the basic side of the service.
